The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) had originally set a goal for forty industrial solar parks with a combined capacity of 20 GW, but that objective was then increased to 40 GW, planned to be achieved by 2022. Starting in 2020, the Bhadla Solar Park holds the title as the world''s biggest solar park.
When solar energy is pumped into a battery, a chemical reaction among the battery components stores the energy. The reaction is reversed when the battery is discharged, allowing current to exit the battery. Lithium-ion batteries are most commonly used in solar applications, and new battery technology is expanding rapidly, which promises to
